To those who are ah-eady acquainted with the charms of 
Magnolia as a summer resort, and ha\e sought in vain for a 
coriect and adequate printed description of " the Point" to 
send to friends, tlie raison d'vfre of this little book will be sutfi- 
cientlv evident. To the unfortunates who are not so blessed, it 
may be said that the compiler has used every effort to make the 
following pages correct in every particular, and presents 
them as a strictly reliable guide to Magnolia Point and its 
\icinity. 



Ungnalm. 



The shades of night were falling fast, 
As through a seaside village passed 
A youth who hore, 'mid rain and shine. 
A gripsack with the strange design, 

" Magnolia ! " 
His brow was sad, his eye beneath 
Flashed like a falchion from its sheath ; 
And like a chapel bell half hung. 
The well-known accents loudly rung, 

"Magnolia!" 
In seashore homes he saw the light 
Of open fires gleam warm and bright; 
Around, the Chinese lanterns shone. 
And from his lips escaped a groan, 

" Magnolia ! " 

"Try not the Point," the brakeman said; 

"You'll find no place to lay your head 
At Hesperus or Ocean-Side;" 
But loud that hopeful voice replied, 
" Magnolia ! " 

"O stay," the landlord said, "and rest: 
My beds and board are of the best." 
A tear stood in his bright blue eye. 
But still he answered, with a sigh, 

"Magnolia!" 
****** 
A traveler, on the dew-moist ground, 
Half hidden in the grass, was found — 
Tied to him, with a piece of twine, 
A gripsack, with the strange design, 

"Magnolia !" 
There in the twilight, cold and gray, 
Bedless, but satisfied, he lay; 
And from his lips, with mingled snores, 
The accents came, like echoed roars, 



'Magnolia !'

EW portions of the picturesque New England 
shore present a more beautiful series of pictures 
to the traveler, either by land or water, than the thirty 
odd miles of seacoast intervening between Boston and 
Gloucester — -the bold, rocky headlands interspersed 
with bits of shining sand, and dotted with tasteful 
summer residences ; while beyond all is the ever-chang- 
ing background of thickly-wooded hills, presenting an 
enchanting panorama to the lover of the beautiful in 
nature, — a succession of natural gems which warrant 
the enthusiastic admiration of all who have spent a 
summer under its subtle influence. 

Magnolia Point, or Magnolia, as it is now more 
commonly called, is one of the prettiest and most popu- 
lar of the summer colonies which have sprung into ex- 
istence within the last few years along this famous 
"North Shore" of Massachusetts Bay. Endowed 
most richly with the natural advantages of situation 
and surroundings, the control of the land has passed 
into the hands of those who have its best interests at 
heart, and watch with jealous care to prevent the en- 
trance of any element which would hazard the quiet 



12 

enjoyment of the congenial community which gathers 
here every summer from all parts of the Union and 
Provinces to gain strength and recreation. 

To reach Magnolia, go to Boston. Arrived safely 
at the " Hub," tennis-suits, parasols, and bathing-dress 
all in readiness for the summer campaign, all that re- 
mains for you to do is to order your yacht ready at — 
well, say lO a. m., and weigh anchor for Magnolia. 
Ah ! your yacht in the dry-dock with a broken rudder ? 
So she is. Pardon me ; I had forgotten that. Well, 
the drive down by way of Salem is delightful, so we 
will have the dog-cart ready instead. What! the 
leader down with the pink-eye ? Well, in that case 
nothing is left but to go by steamer or train. 

Now for a piece of sound advice. If the wind has 
been blowing a gale all night, and the storm-signals are 
up all along the coast, don't go by steamer ; but if the 
thermometer is at ninety degrees in the shadow of the 
Old State House, no perceptible breeze stirring, and 
there was a terrible railroad accident in Arizona yes- 
terday, go by boat by all means. 

The steamers of the Boston and Gloucester Steam- 
boat Company leave their berth at Central Wharf two 
or three times daily,"^' and afitbrd a fine view of the 
shore during the entire trip. 

After rounding the stone beacon off Deer Island,

one may see on the left the glistening sands of 
Winthrop and Revere Beaches. Along the former is 
the settlement known as Ocean Spray. The cottages 
here are very thickly placed, and comparatively few- 
are owned by the occupants. At the southwestern end 
of Revere Beach one sees the great Ocean Pier ; while 
farther along, the beach is lined with cheap eating- 
houses, booths, bath-houses, etc. 

Beyond the Point of Pines, with the smoking chim- 
neys of Lynn in the background, is the rocky prom- 
ontory of Nahant, connected with the mainland by a 
narrow strip of sand, which is in places barely wide 
enough for the avenue which extends along it. About 
a half mile from Nahant is Egg Rock, with the white 
lighthouse-building upon it. 

Passing Nahant, we see the popular summer resort 
of Swampscott. The shore from Swampscott to Mar- 
blehead Neck is lined with picturesque cottages, scat- 
tered in groups, with such names as Beach Bluffs, 
Clifton, and Devereux for their railroad stations, which 
are on a branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad 
(Eastern Division). 

Nanepashemet, as the summer residents have re- 
named Marblehead Neck, much to the disgust of the 
old settlers on the mainland, is now very popular as a 
summer resort for those wishing the enjoyment of bold 
rocks and a safe harbor for yachting combined. There 
is, however, no good bathing-beach here.

Opposite the entrance to the harbor is Lowell Island, 
formerly called Cat Island, which has never been a 
great success as a summer resort, in spite of the immense 
amount of money expended on the hotel and accom- 
panying buildings. 

Passing Marblehead Rock, surmounted with its 
beacon, one sees, beyond Lowell Island, the entrance 
to Salem Harbor ; while a backward look will disclose 
Marblehead Light perched on the rocks at the entrance 
to the harbor. On the right of the boat is Half-way 
Rock (probably so named because it is half-way between 
places equally distant on opposite sides of it), while on 
the left is Baker's Island, with its twin lighthouses. All 
along behind Baker's Island you may see the cele- 
brated " Beverly Shore," though at such a distance that 
the individual features of its different portions are 
merged in the general effect. 

A little farther on is a picturesque extent of beach, 
hemmed in at each end by rocky barriers, and back of 
it a long building, with a windmill between it and the 
shore. The house is the Masconomo, with the famous 
"Singing Sands" of Manchester in the foreground. 
The cottages here at Mauchester-by-the-Sea are among 
the most truly artistic of the kind in New England, 
many of them ranking among the most elegant sum- 
mer residences along the Atlantic coast. 



'7 

The first island of noticeable size beyond the Singing 
Beach is called Kettle Island, from the peculiar shape 
of a rock between it and the mainland, at certain stages 
of the tide. The cove behind it bears the same name, 
as did formerly, also, what is now called by the more 
euphonious title of Crescent Beach. 

Just beyond the island, and forming one side of 
Kettle Cove, is Magnolia Point, with its open field, 
flanked by rows of cottages, beyond which one can see 
the twin buildings of the Hesperus House. The 
steamer passes quite near the land, and as she keeps on 
her course, one may see the group of cottages on the 
eastern slope of the point, and those along the shore 
beyond. 

Passing the Chasm and Norman's Woe, of both of 
which mention will be made hereafter, one enters 
Gloucester Harbor, closely guarded at the entrance by 
the blinking red eye of Eastern Point Light. 

Proceeding up the harbor one sees on the left the 
entrance to the canal which connects with Squam 
River, offering a passage to small vessels to the waters 
of Ipswich Bay, without risking the rough passage 
"around the cape." 

Passing Ten Pound Island, with its lighthouse, on 
the right, the steamer is soon safely docked, and it is 
then only a short drive to the station where the train 
for Magnolia is taken, or better still, as the distance is 



i8 

but four and one-half miles, take a carriage direct. In 
the former case, your ride in the cars occupies but a 
few minutes, and you take one of the comfortable wag- 
onettes, in waiting at the depot, for the two-mile ride 
to the Point. 

So much for the water route. In coming by rail, 
take the train direct for Magnolia-' at the Eastern Di- 
vision Station of the Boston and Maine Railroad, on 
Causeway Street, and in about an hour, more or less, 
probably a few minutes more, you will step out upon 
the platform of the Magnolia station, where willing 
arms will be anxious to seize you and your baggage, 
and see you safely ensconced in the wagonette driven 
by the respective owners of above-mentioned arms. 
The extreme avidity of these knights of the reins is 
explained by the fact that there are two rival lines of 
conveyances, each anxious to outdo the other in the 
number of passengers carried, and the consequent num- 
ber of shekels derived therefrom. The alert eagerness, 
or eager alertness, as you choose, of these Jehus is 
much appreciated by patrons of the road, and lends a 
spice of excitement to the transfer from cars to coach 
which, for the time being, quite effectually dispels the 
weariness of travel.

HE first part of the drive from the depot is 
through the woods, whose cool and refreshing 
shade is most welcome after the heat and dust of the 
railway journey. After many windings and turnings, 
past several cottages perched upon the bluffs to the 
left, the road turns around the base of a huge rock, 
and following the general direction of the shore, leads 
directly to Gloucester, the old Magnolia road turning off 
at right angles from it. Within a year or two, however, 
the new road has been built along Crescent Beach, 
making the third side of the triangle, and materially 
shortening the distance to the Point. 

On a high knoll in the corner formed by the beach 
and Gloucester roads, is the Crescent Beach House, 
kept by Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Coffin, formerly of the 
Ocean House, Swampscott. Although rather isolated, 
this house is quite a favorite with many, on account of 
its proximity to the bathing-beach and its high and 
commanding situation. 

Passing along the new road, and by the life-boat 
station on the right, one enters the village almost op- 
posite the Willow Cottage, for several seasons under 



22 

the management of Mrs. M. H. Bray, but now kept 
very successfully by Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Foster. The 
house is old-fashioned and comfortable in appearance, 
and is picturesquely situated under the protecting 
shadow of immense willows, which very effectually 
ward off the rays of the summer sun. 

Beyond the Willow Cottage, on the same side of the 
road, are the Sea View and Oak Grove Houses, the 
former being kept by H. H. Roberts. The latter is a 
little distance back from the road, and surrounded by 
a magnificent grove of oaks, as the name suggests. It 
is under the management of R. C. Hunt & Son. 

Near the Willow Cottage, on Norman Avenue, is 
the Norman Cottage, opened this season for the first 
time, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Ira 
Andrews. This house, though small, is nicely kept, 
and is gaining an excellent reputation. 

Taking the road past the post-office to the right, 
and turning up Hesperus Avenue, one passes the Hes- 
perus House, fronting a large open field which ex- 
tends to the water's edge, and is faced on the other 
two sides by private cottages. 

The Hesperus is one of the most delightfully situated 
hotels on tbge North Shore, and the view from its 
piazzas of Massachusetts Bay (the shore in its majestic 
sweep gradually fading from the rugged promontories 
of Manchester and Marblehead in the foreground, with

24 

the adjacent rocky islands, to the low-lying shores of 
Cape Cod, hovering like a mist upon the horizon), is one 
of the finest on the Atlantic coast. The Hesperus is 
becoming justly celebrated for its superior cuisine, and 
under the experienced management of Mrs. Orra Paige, 
is receiving constantly increasing patronage. The 
owner contemplates extensive improvements before 
another season. 

Passing the Hesperus, one comes to the Ocean-Side, 
on the corner beyond, under the proprietorship of 
Mr. Geo. A. Upton, This house is very popular with 
its numerous patrons, and its comfortable and airy 
rooms are filled throughout the entire season. The 
view of the ocean from its piazzas is exceptionally fine, 
while only a little distance from the house is a cool 
and shady pine grove. Numerous improvements have 
been made during the present season, which add greatly 
to the enjoyment and convenience of the guests. 

The Ocean-Side and Hesperus are the largest of the 
Magnolia hotels, and furnish meals to a large number 
who find rooms in the adjoining cottages, in addition 
to their regular guests. Besides the houses mentioned 
above, there are several families in the vicinity of the 
Point who take summer boarders, but need not be 
mentioned in detail.

N the morning after your arrival at Magnolia, 
providing you are a stranger, one of the first 
questions propounded by the initiated individual with 
whom you strike up a conversation will be, "Have you 
been to the chasm, yet?" And lest your negative 
should be coupled with an interrogation which would 
most painfully display your ignorance, pray give heed 
to the following description. 

Rafe's Chasm is a channel hewn by nature out of the 
solid rock, about 200 feet in length, averaging 10 feet 
in width, and nearly 60 feet deep. It is at right angles 
to the trend of the shore, and in a storm the water 
rushes in between the rocky walls with tremendous 
force, striking the opposite end with the sound of 
thunder. 

The iron cross on the rock near by commemorates 
the sad death of Miss Martha Marvin, of Walton, 
N. Y., who was drowned here in the summer of 1879. 
While sitting on the rocks below, she was swept away 
by an unexpectedly large wave, in spite of the frantic 
endeavors of two friends who were with her at the 
time. 



28 

The isolated rock a little distance from the shore, 
and a few rods beyond the chasm, is the reef of Nor- 
man's Woe, made famous by Longfellow's poem, "The 
Wreck of the Hesperus." The incident of the poem 
is founded on tradition, though the probate records of 
Essex County show that in the vicinity of 1680 a cer- 
tain Richard Norman sailed on a voyage from which 
he never returned, and it is more than likely that the 
tradition is founded on fact, and that this rock was the 
scene of the catastrophe commemorated by Long- 
fellow. 

Watching the surging waves as they hurl them- 
selves against the jutting crags, wreathing them with 
snowy tributes to their resistless might, one can pic- 
ture the scene as the gallant vessel 

" — struck where the white and fleecy waves 
Looked soft as carded wool ; 
But the cruel rocks, they gored her side; 
Like the horns of an angry bull." 

The walk to the Chasm, which is about three-quar- 
ters of a mile from the Point, is along the edge of the 

rocks, following the shore beyond Hesperus Avenue. 
A little distance this side of the Chasm is the " Flume," 
a channel in the cliff about 150 feet long, 50 feet deep, 
and 6 feet in width. The lighthouse on the point of 
land to the east is Eastern Point Light, at the entrance 
to Gloucester Harbor. The sail to and from the Point, 
including a visit to the lighthouse, makes a very enjoy- 
able half-day's trip. 



29 




THE CHASM. 



30 

Sailing and rowing are very generally indulged in by 
those fond of being on the water. Though the con- 
veniences for keeping boats are at present far from 
what they should be, several of the cottagers have their 
own boats, and Capt. Lycett, who may generally be 
found at the head of the old wharf, has quite a number 
of row-boats to let at reasonable rates. A number of 
handsome yachts are moored in the cove during the 
summer, and there are one or two sail-boats, whose 
owners take out parties for fishing or sailing. 

Fishing is very good in the vicinity. It is mostly of 
the deep-sea variety, and there are several ledges two 
or three miles off shore where cod and haddock may 
be found in abundance. Near the shore, however, in 
addition to perch and flounders, lovers of the rod and 
reel may try their skill on striped bass and tautog. 

A favorite trip for row-boats is to Kettle Island, 
whose jagged rocks afford numerous comfortable nooks 
in which to while away an afternoon watching the end- 
less panorama of glistening sails and fleecy clouds as 
they flit across the azure waters rippling at your feet, 
rivalled, perchance, by the blue eyes of a fair com- 
panion. To these rocks, also, as to those on the main- 
land, moonlight lends a peculiar charm, which dots 
them with appreciative parties from sundown to the 
"wee, sma' hours." And still they do not look 
crowded. You would scarcely think there was any 
one there at all — until you step on them. 



31 

Off the western end of the island is the " fish-trap," 
or weir. The nets are emptied at least once every- 
day, and the sight is a most picturesque and interesting 
one to a landsman. 

Opposite Kettle Island is Crescent Beach, which 
affords some of the best bathing on the North Shore. 
It is almost entirely free from undertow, and the sand 
is perfectly firm, and free from the treacherous spots 
which render some of the New England beaches so 
unsafe for any but expert swimmers. 

The beach is lined with bath-houses, owned princi- 
pally by the different hotels. The popular bathing- 
hour is from ii to 11.30 a. m., though, if the tide is 
very low at that time, many prefer the latter part of 
the afternoon. 

Of course the usual summer pastime of tennis, cro- 
quet, and other out-door sports have their votaries, while 
on a rainy day one may turn to bowling, pool, or bill- 
iards, facilities for which are provided by the different 
hotels. Of picnic parties it is sufBcient to say, that 
"the woods are full of 'em," while the rocks are 
sketched and "shot" from every point of view by a 
small army of embryo artists and amateur photog- 
raphers.. The bathing beach offers a rich field to 
those of the latter who can boast an instantaneous 
apparatus, and many are the ludicrous attitudes and 
situations gleefully reproduced during the season, much 



32 

to the chagrin of the unwitting performers. A num- 
ber of prominent artists have had studios here, find- 
ing in the vicinity abundant material for development 
on canvas. 

Of course the omnipresent "collector" is found 
here in a hundred phases, seeking wild flowers, odd 
pebbles, sea-weeds, or what not. 

The magnolias, from which the Point derived its 
name, are found in no other spot within New England, 
and were first discovered by a Dr. Cutter. Their 
smooth, green foliage, and large, white, sweet-scented 
flowers were formerly very plenty in the swamp to 
the northeast, but through continued inroads have now 
become so scarce as only to be obtainable by some of 
the younger denizens of the woods, who offer the blos- 
soms for sale at the roadside, as your carriage passes. 

The roads in the vicinity offer delightful trips to 
those fond of driving and riding, and most of them are 
very good for cycling; but this subject will bespoken 
of more at length in the succeeding pages.

F you are not fortunate enough to have your own 
horses and carriages at MagnoHa, you can obtain 
excellent turnouts for any number of persons at either 
of the hvery stables on the Point. Mr. Davis' stable is 
quite near the post-office, and on the road to the 
depot and Gloucester. He keeps in stock a large line 
of fashionable and comfortable vehicles, with safe and 
sound horses. He also has a large boarding-stable on 
Hesperus Avenue. 

Mr. Rowe, the proprietor of the other wagonette line, 
has a large and well-equipped stable in the pine woods a 
quarter of a mile from the Ocean-Side, and is prepared 
to fill all orders at short notice. Both Messrs. Davis 
and Rowe furnish careful and reliable drivers when 
desired, and their charges are low as compared with 
those at most summer resorts. The stables are con- 
nected with the hotels by telephone. 

The drives about Magnolia are charming in every 
direction. The road to Manchester lies for a great 
part of the way through thick woods, passing on the 
left private carriage-roads leading to the cottages on 
Manchester Bluffs. Turning to the left after reaching 



36 

the village, one approaches the well-known Masconomo 
House, passing which, the road leads to the famous 
"singing sands." It was formerly claimed that there 
were only three beaches in the world possessing this 
peculiar property ; the fact being, nevertheless, that 
about thirty instances of it are authenticated, — some, 
however, not to such a marked extent. 

Along the shore in the other direction, the drive to 
Gloucester is most enjoyable, the latter part of the 
way affording a view of Eastern Point and Gloucester 
Harbor, with its picturesque fleet of fishing-vessels. 
Just before entering the city one crosses the canal 
which connects the harbor with Squam River, winding 
its way between the high banks to the left, finally en- 
tering Ipswich Bay at Annisquam. 

From Gloucester, one may follow the shore through 
East Gloucester to Eastern Point Light, past the ex- 
tensive Niles Estate, over which there is so much liti- 
gation, or turn oft' at the end of the harbor toward 
Bass Rocks and Good Harbor Beach. 

The drive "round the Cape," starting from Glouces- 
ter, includes Rockport, Pigeon Cove, Lanesville, Bay 
View, and Annisquam, and makes a most delightful 
day's trip. The views obtained in passing from Rock- 
port to Pigeon Cove and vicinity are especially fine, 
the rocks here being among the boldest along the 
coast, and jutting out into the very ocean itself.

Coffin's Beach, on Ipswich Bay, is a favorite spot for 
picnic parties, barge-rides, and the hke, though the 
road leading to it is rather bad for carriages. On the 
way, in West Gloucester, is. one of the oldest burial- 
grounds in Massachusetts, containing many quaint epi- 
taphs and inscriptions, many of them in an excellent 
state of preservation, and of great interest to anti- 
quarians. 

Another most enjoyable trip is to Chebacco Lake, 
stopping for lunch at Whipple's, where you must be 
sure and call for some of his famous broiled chicken. 

Of course there are many other beautiful drives in 
the vicinity, — as, for instance, beyond Manchester, 
through Beverly and the surrounding country, — but the 
above-mentioned are the best-known and most popular 
of those in the immediate neighborhood. Horseback- 
riding is enjoyed by many, who may thus have the pleas- 
ure of following the old and picturesque roads in the 
woods round about, which have, in some cases, become 
almost impassable for vehicles. 'Cyclers are numerous 
during the summer months, and the ups and downs 
of the roads do not seem to interfere in the least with 
their enjoyment of the cool sea-breezes and delightful 
views.

DVERTISERS.— Don't skip this. A word or 
two will not be out of place here, we trust, in 
regard to the advertisements which appear in this 
publication. The firms represented are all specially 
interested in Magnolia patronage, most of them having 
offices in Magnolia itself, and have been selected as 
representative establishments in their respective de- 
partments. 

Sojourners at Magnolia may feel perfect confidence 
in the reliability and trustworthiness of the firms whose 
cards appear in these pages, and may rest assured that 
no efforts wdll be spared to give perfect satisfaction in 
all respects. 

Artists. — The beautiful surroundings of Magnolia 
have very naturally drawn here a number of prominent 
artists, who have enjoyed to the utmost the profusion of 
scenic gems which nature has so lavishly provided. 
The peculiarly arranged eyrie which one sees just 
opposite Willow Cottage, on Magnolia Avenue, perched 
high in air on four vine-covered posts, and connected 
with the neighboring building by a narrow gallery, is 
known as Hunt's Studio, the building mentioned having 
been occupied by that artist for several successive 
years. 



44 

Among the names of well-known artists who have 
been here in previous years, are such as Hunt, Rehn, 
Gerry, Knowlton, Darrah, Rouzee, DeCrano, Green, 
Brevoort, etc. Mr. F. K. M. Rehn, of New York, is 
spending his second season here, having fitted up one 
of the small buildings on " Lobster Lane," as a rustic 
studio, which is open to visitors on Saturday afternoons. 

Chapel. — The Union Chapel is the result of the 
earnest work of some of the regular summer visitors at 
Magnolia, and adds very greatly to the enjoyment of 
those who pass their Sabbaths here. It is non-sectarian, 
services being held every Sunday forenoon during the 
season by clergymen of different denominations. The 
building is as neat and tasteful inside as the outside is 
attractive, and seems especially harmonious and appro- 
priate to the surroundings in design. 

Historical Buildings. — The followinor interesting: 
items are kindly furnished by Mrs. E. G. Foster, of 
Willow Cottage, an old resident in Magnolia. 

A half century ago, the large white house at the head 
of Magnolia Avenue (then occupied by Mr. Rufus Stan- 
ley), was the principal building in Magnolia. After- 
ward used as a country tavern, the " Magnolia House," 
it became the regular stopping-place for stages and 
travelers between Salem and Gloucester. 

Between it and the Sanborn House, on the West 
Gloucester road, were two houses, one of brick (re- 



45 




46 

cently replaced by a tasteful cottage), the other, a dun- 
geon-like building, occupied by an old woman of 
uncanny reputation. Beyond the Gloucester woods 
were two buildings, one owned by Capt. Jonathan Gil- 
bert, the other now belonging to Mr. C. A. Haskell. 

On the Manchester road, beyond the first building 
mentioned, was the "haunted house," about which 
many strange and weird stories circulated of a broken- 
hearted young wife and her avenging sprite. 

A number of cottages, including the residences of 
Solomon Burnham and Captain Knight, were situated 
on Magnolia Avenue, at the end of which was Jim 
Knowlton's house, now Willow Cottage. The houses 
of Messrs. Benjamin Adams and Ebenezer Knowlton 
were also included in the " Kettle Cove" of fifty years 
ago. 

Improvement Society. — The Magnolia Improve- 
ment Society is composed of cottage-owners and regular 
summer visitors, and exercises a wholesome influence 
upon the development and improvement of the Point. 
The officers for the present year are : Treasurer, Mr. 
N. J. Rust; Secretary, Mr. Wm. T. Piper; Select 
Committee, Mr. J. H. Freeland, Rev. H. W. Foote, 
Mr. Edward C. Richardson, and Mr. Frank F. Story. 

Indians. — A family of Indians have for several years 
past made their camp for the summer months at the 
edge of the woods, near the corner of Lexington and 
Norman Avenues. 



47 

They bring with them a large stock of fancy baskets, 
boxes, toys, and similar articles, which they readily dis- 
pose of during the season, while they are kept busy in 
making special shapes to order. They are remarkably 
skillful in this work, a special feature being the use of 
a peculiar sweet grass, which imparts a deliciously 
fragrant odor to articles in contact for any length of 
time. 

Kettle Isle. — Mr. Charles Richards Dodge has 
brought to light and elaborated the legend of Kettle 
Isle, as it was handed down from the settlers. Accord- 
ing to this the present island was once a peninsula, the 
reef now connecting it with the mainland having once 
been high and dry at all stages of the tide. The little 
harbor thus made took its name of "The Kettle," from 
its suggestive shape, the Point afterward being known 
by the same title. In a little tumbledown shanty on 
this neck Kved an old witch, and with her a lovely 
maiden, named Elsie — both of them surrounded with 
mystery. An old farmer, who owned the adjoining 
property, allowed the dame to pasture her sheep, her 
only visible means of support, on a strip of pasture 
along the shore, between the cove and the chasm. 

Now this farmer had an only son, who, as the story 
runs, fell desperately in love with the fair maiden ; but 
she, alas ! knew not the meaning of the word. One 
day, while she was sitting on the rocks, a dark-haired 



48 

stranger disembarked from a gallant vessel, and, accost- 
ing her politely, told of foreign shores and of noble 
exploits, and of princely palaces, with courtiers and 
ladies fair, but none so fair as she. This meeting was 
by no means the last, for, time and again, as she sat 
musing on the rocks, the dark-haired stranger appeared, 
and, with words of endearment, awakened in the young 
maiden's heart that which the awkward farmer lad 
had tried in vain to teach. But all this time "Old 
Granny's" sheep had been pasturing on the farmer's 
land, and be paid he must, or the girl must marry 
the son. The former was impossible, so the day 
was fixed, with old Granny's threat that if Elsie 
did not yield she would hurl her headlong from the 
rocks ; and in the meanwhile she was kept under lock 
and key. The day arrived, and, with the rising sun, a 
terrible storm made the very cliffs tremble before it. 
Poor Elsie's heart sank as hour after hour passed, and 
the ordeal drew nearer and nearer, while there was no 
hope from her true lover, since no boat could live in 
such a sea. But her faithful spirit never flinched ; and 
when, at sunset, she stood on the edge of the cliffs, Old 
Granny's face was livid with rage at her stubbornness. 
A demoniacal yell, a quick push, and poor Elsie's 
bruised body lay on the rocks below as a huge wave 
came rolling in from the ocean, crested with foam, and 
seeming about to carry the very cliffs before it. But 



49 




50 

Elsie, stunned and bleeding as she was, had heard a 
familiar voice above the sound of the storm, and, with 
a glad cry, threw herself into the seething maelstrom. 
A strong arm seized her, and, by a mighty effort, 
breasted the flood till willing hands drew them into the 
boat, and Elsie was saved. In the gray of the morn- 
ing Old Granny's body washed ashore, with those of 
her sheep, which had all been drowned in crossing the 
neck, and from that day it has gradually wasted away 
till nothing is left but the sunken reef connecting Kettle 
Island with Magnolia Point. 

Land. — A few words in regard to the ownership of 
some of the vacant building-lots at Magnolia may be of 
interest to some who contemplate purchasing. By far 
the greater part of the land still vacant at Magnolia be- 
longs to three parties : the Magnolia Shore Company, 
Mr. Barnard Stanwood, and the heirs of D, W. Fuller, 
the pioneer invester in the neighborhood. 

The Shore Company is composed of gentlemen who 
adopted this method of obtaining desirable building- 
lots for themselves, and of making to some extent their 
own choice of neighbors. Their lands are under the 
selling agency of J. Murray Howe, No. 5 Court St., 
Boston, and comprise many excellent locations, all of 
which are east of the Point proper. 

Mr. Stanwood is a Gloucester gentleman, who has 
tenaciously held on to his possessions at Magnolia for a 



51 

number of years, and bids fair to do so for several more. 
His lands include some of the finest building-sites left 
on the Point. 

The Fuller estate, which comprises sections in almost 
every part of Magnolia, is partly owned by Mrs. D. W. 
Fuller, the balance being under the management of 
Mr. Stanwood, mentioned above. A large part of this 
property is now for sale, and offers an exceptional 
opportunity to those wishing desirable locations for a 
summer residence. 

Lighthouses. — A number of lights may be seen 
from Magnolia, and, as it is always interesting to know 
them apart, the following description will, we trust, be 
of interest. Looking almost due south, one sees, on a 
clear night, a fixed white light just above the horizon. 
This is on Minot's Ledge, off Cohasset. To the right 
of that one sees Boston Light, with its brilliant white 
flashes. Still farther to the right is the less noticeable 
fixed red light on Egg Rock, off Nahant ; while the 
two bright lights in range with Marblehead, one higher 
than the other, are on Baker's Island, and plainly vis- 
ible in the daytime. The intervening islands some- 
what obstruct the view of Marblehead Light (fixed 
white), which is, however, visible from a somewhat ele- 
vated position. 

Two or three brilliant electric lights in Salem are 
easily mistaken for lighthouses, but are more scintilla- 



52 

ting, and have less color. Looking to the eastward, 
one may see the red flash-light on Eastern Point. 
Thatcher's Island Lights are hidden by the highlands 
of East Gloucester ; while. Ten Pound Island Light, 
inside the harbor, is obscured by the high bluffs along 
the shore between the Point and Gloucester. 

Library. — The Magnolia Library, which is under 
the control of a committee of the Magnolia Improve- 
ment Society, owes its origin to the untiring efforts of 
some of the public-spirited ladies who spend their sum- 
mers here, and has met with great success from its in- 
ception. It is supported by donations and from the 
income received during the summer months from the 
loan of books, while in the winter it is free to the vil- 
lagers and others who desire to avail themselves of its 
advantages. 

The volumes, which now number nearly a thousand, 
are at present in the Union Chapel, which is open on 
Wednesday and Saturday from 9 to 1 1 a. m. 

Photographs. — The accompanying views of Mag- 
nolia and vicinity are from photographs taken on the 
spot, most of them by Mr. G. K. Dodge, of Boston, 
whose advertisement will be found in another column.
